Chapter 54 - Tylah, Horde, and Being a Blood Knight

So, let’s talk about Tylah, my gallant Blood Knight—or, as I liked to call her, my fabulous paladin on the red side. Now, I’ve always had a soft spot for elves, but I didn’t want to muddy the waters with my Alliance characters on Earthen Ring. So, what’s a girl to do? I took a leap into the chaotic embrace of the Horde on Argent Dawn. Spoiler alert: it was an absolute blast.

Tylah wasn’t your typical blood knight. Sure, she had the shiny armor and the brooding demeanor, but she was also an engineer. Why, you ask? Because HOGS! Yes, Blizzard had unleashed the wonder of motorcycles upon us, and Tylah was determined to take full advantage of the glorious metal beasts. Who wouldn’t want to ride into battle on a roaring hog with a sidecar to give her friends a lift? It was the ultimate fantasy—like a paladin version of Mad Max, but with more glitter and a lot less dystopia.

So there I was, zooming through the landscape, Tylah at the helm of her magnificent motorcycle. The wind was whipping through her hair as she shouted, “I am a blood knight! Fear my engineering skills!” to anyone who dared to listen. And let me tell you, not a single orc was impressed, but that didn’t stop me from trying.

One day, I decided to host a “Blood Knight Motorcycle Rally.” The plan was simple: gather every Horde player with a motorcycle and hit the roads in style. Tylah would lead the charge, with her sidecar ready to pick up any unfortunate souls who couldn’t keep up. Spoiler alert: they were mostly my friends.

As we revved our engines, I realized something crucial—I had no idea how to ride one of these things properly. I gunned the throttle, and Tylah shot forward like a cannonball. I was a blur of armor and chaos as I careened past unsuspecting NPCs, shouting “I’m in control!” while absolutely not being in control. Tylah was more like “The World’s Worst Driver” than a noble knight.

A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.

During our rally, one of my friends hopped into the sidecar, clutching a bucket of popcorn. “Are we racing or just going to the cinema?” they joked. “Both! The cinema of death!” I proclaimed, leaning into the turns like a pro (or a reckless fool, depending on who you asked).

The best part? We had a designated “safety officer” riding behind us on a mount. Let’s just say they spent most of the time trying to catch up, which was a feat of incredible athleticism considering we were flying at breakneck speeds.

But things took a hilarious turn when we decided to visit the nearby Alliance camp. I mean, what’s a blood knight without a little friendly rivalry, right? We pulled up in our motorcycles, engines roaring, and I confidently shouted, “Horde rules!” The Alliance players looked up from their quests, clearly unsure if they should run, fight, or start an impromptu dance-off. Spoiler: they chose to run.

In the heat of the moment, I decided to demonstrate my engineering skills by attempting to do a wheelie. And that’s when I learned a valuable lesson: never attempt a stunt on a motorcycle while your friends are recording it for posterity. Tylah went up, and then—whoosh!—down she came, landing in a bush that I’m pretty sure was home to several annoyed squirrels.

With my dignity in tatters and Tylah covered in leaves, I couldn’t help but laugh. “Well, that didn’t go as planned!” I declared, and my friends erupted into fits of giggles. The squirrels, however, were less than amused and promptly chased us off.

So there you have it: Tylah, the gallant Blood Knight and engineer extraordinaire, who brought chaos and laughter to the Horde side. Who knew that joining the red team would lead to such wild adventures and ridiculous shenanigans? Life as a blood knight was never dull, especially when you had a motorcycle and a sense of humor!
